| Word | Phonetic | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Rojo | ROH-hoh | The "j" is a strong guttural sound from the throat |
| Amarillo | ah-mah-REE-yoh | The double "ll" sounds like "y" |
| Morado | moh-RAH-doh | Stress on the second syllable |
Agreement: rojo (masculine) → roja (feminine). El coche rojo but la manzana roja. Some colours like azul don't change for gender.
